The Wonders of Wools

Oriental rugs are generally made of wool (as are many of our braided, hooked, and round rugs) and are easily and economically maintained. Rugs of wool are extremely durable and consistently outperform other materials. Unlike other fibers, wool is much more resilient, cleans better and stays clean longer.

Cleaning

Your trusted professional Oriental rug cleaner will ensure a skilled cleaning that brings out the richness of color and softness of wool. Depending on the amount of traffic, a professional washing is recommended every three to six years for the cleaning of your Oriental or other finely crafted wool rug.

Rotation

To ensure even wear, your rug should be rotated once a year. However, depending on the traffic, the rotation may vary from six months to two years.

Vaccuuming

Our rugs, like most carpeting, should be vacuumed on a regular basis to remove dirt and restore life to the fibers. Be sure not to vacuum the fringe.

Padding

A quality pad used under your rug helps protect it from dirt, wear and slippage. We will be happy to provide you with the correct padding.

Restoration

In case of damage, with a professional restoration just about any problem has a solution. Old and antique rugs sometimes need to be rewoven where worn and restored to life. Newer rugs are rarely in need of repair. An experienced professional must always be consulted in these matters.
